Hydrogen enhanced Charade High Speed Cruise Chasing Rainbows...
Literally Speaking, I was actually chasing a rainbow in this video... I enjoyed driving more than 500 km for about 2 days... The long Highway offered plenty of high speed cruise.
I also didnt realize I popped off the oil cap and also ran low on electrolyte... causing my top speed to drop from 140 to only 130kph average for the whole duration of the highway cruise.
I am still using the undersize jets, both primary and secondary... what used to5 be the primary jet is now the secondary. I realize I can do 17kpl in city combined with little highway with this set-up...
In the Highway, maintaining 120 to 130 kph speeds will make 14km per li.. I have never tried doing only 80kph on the highways because the car wanted to cruise comfortably on this speed. But I realized I have set this car to perform well in city driving.
The next time I set out on a longer trip, I will rejet it back to stock and see what speeds is this really capable of and what fuel economy will it bring.
Without HHO or Hydroxy , I can hardly make pass 100kph with this car with this undersized jets.
Anyway, I must admit, I keep chasing rainbows... but it's worth the trip. :-)
Oh yes, the more you push this car to it's limit, the more it enjoys running smoother... I am just amazed with it's performance. Definitely, not bad for an old car with old spark plugs, with no more oil change, I dont even checked the dwell and opening or timing of the points, even the suspension system needs really some attention. I still would admit, I really enjoy driving this car.

Jack Nicholson's Hydrogen powered car back in 1978...
-Jack Nicholson promotes his Hydrogen powered car back in 1978.
-The car is a 1978 Chevy Impala,running and driving on Hydrogen gas and no emissions just water vapour,therefore non-polluting.
-The gas woul'd be produced by solar powered electrolysis,no off-the-grid electricity and no fossil fuels.
-The big question here is where is that technology?
-It was a reality 30 years ago and now we got oddball stuff like hybrid cars that don't seem to be very good....
-Can you imagine if everybody coul'd drive a big V8 powered american car,without pollution and almost for free,like in the old days?
-Thats what everybody wants!
-That also could mean putting Detroit back on top,building the cars that the people want without hassles from the CAFE and EPA.
-You'll be the judge.
